Community Collaborations

Community Advocates serves as the lead agency for Milwaukee County’s largest coalition of child, youth and family-serving agencies working cooperatively to prevent child abuse, teen pregnancy, gang violence, and alcohol/drug abuse.

Coordinated by the City of Milwaukee as lead agency, the Continuum of Care is the planning body for all homelessness-related services in Milwaukee County. The more than 75 human service and government entities that make up the Continuum of Care’s membership have a common goal: to “eliminate homelessness in Milwaukee.” Community Advocates is a member of the Milwaukee County Continuum of Care, and is a former lead agency.

Founded by Community Advocates, this 80-member coalition of health service providers and advocates provides strategy and oversight to address the health care needs of Milwaukee’s low-income, underserved, and uninsured populations.
